About Riddle Room Canberra
Riddle Room Canberra runs five themed escape rooms from a unit on Lysaght Street in Mitchell. Teams get 60 minutes to work through a story told in puzzles, using only what they find inside the room. Themes range from an abandoned mine and a haunted hotel to a missing-detective case, a royal dungeon and a dream-world nightmare. Each room lists its difficulty and a scare rating, and The Hotel is limited to players aged 16 and over. Larger groups are split across rooms, with space for up to 44 players at the same time. Two identical Nightmare rooms let rival teams race each other through the same puzzles, which suits work groups after a bit of friendly competition. The team can also hide a photo, a note or a small item in a room to surprise someone in your group, with charges for more involved requests. There is no food on site, but a cafe next door is handy for a bite afterwards. Sessions open only when booked, so plan at least a day ahead on weekdays. A deposit secures the time slot and the balance is paid on arrival.

Frequently asked questions
How many people can play?
Each room takes between two and eight players depending on the theme, and four to six is the sweet spot. Up to 44 people can play at once across six rooms.
How much does it cost?
Pricing depends on team size: $55 a head for two players, $50 for three and $45 each for four or more. Public holidays carry a minimum charge equal to four players.
Is there an age limit?
Most rooms suggest players aged 14 and over, and younger players can take part with an adult in the team. The Hotel is only open to players aged 16 and up.
How far ahead do we need to book?
Weekday sessions need to be booked at least 24 hours ahead, as the venue opens only for bookings. Weekends allow some shorter-notice sessions, and a deposit is taken when you book.
Can we eat at the venue?
There are no food facilities on site. A cafe next door serves food and drinks during its opening hours, which makes an easy spot to regroup after a game.
